i based if off of size, activity, and location. the anels, tangs, clowns, chromis, amd foxface share the open space together. the wrasse and gobies share the bottom. the dartfish, cardinals, and blennt share the rockwork. the anthias idk about..
edit: also ok i agree with you on that

i understand That, But i Could Get a better Filter And other tools. i Am Thinking pf downsizing it as i go. i sure iwill look and think "wow my tank is full", but i am looking suggestions on tempermant, hardiness, reef compatibility, etc. But thaml you for the concern, i know it is overstocked, and i will cut down the numbers, just not yet

Welcome to LR!
That is the point. There is no way to tell you temperament, hardiness and reef compatibility since everything is going to be skewed because of the number of fish you are trying stock. What might work with 18 fish most certainly won't work with 39 fish, etc... Territory issues and stress will greatly affect your fish the more crowded you make it. Even with more filtration and live rock for water quality there is simply not enough room to coexist. I have always been an aggressive stocker when it comes to fish but you will be asking for trouble, failures and death at your current list. Knock your list down to a more manageable number and then you will be able to receive the advice you are seeking. Just my two cents.

The other day the new guy at work was moving a ladder, there was this shelving bin just low enough to prevent the ladder to be move over ( I had already told him it would not go under that side a few days earlier) so I knew he was gonna run into the bin. Did I say something? No.
All that time I'm just looking at him and when he runs into it, he asked me if I new that was gonna happened,
I said yes,
He says thanks for telling me!!!
So i say :
I like to see people learn by themselves!!!!
